Rent & eviction protection

Is 2758 23Rd St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built 1900

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The property at 2758 23rd Street (also known as 2760 23rd Street) is a two-story, two-unit building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Neil Ayton and Stephanie Chow. The building has experienced notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particularly concerning active violations as of 2026 including unpermitted electrical work, removal of service equipment without proper support creating a hazard, and exposed wiring with a damaged exterior panel and meters. A July 2026 complaint regarding kitchen and bathroom renovations without permits and collapsed rear stairs from rot further highlights ongoing structural and safety concerns. The building's recent history shows increased activity, with 31 total service requests in 2026 alone, most of which are related to garbage and debris issues.

The property has a documented pattern of maintenance violations and complaints, particularly in 2019, when multiple issues were identified including broken stairs, window disrepair, plumbing problems, and heating issues, though many of these were marked as abated by late 2019. Three building permits have been filed in 2026 totaling $539,500 in construction costs, including a significant renovation project for both units involving kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom remodeling, window replacement, and stair rebuilding. While the building underwent some modernization efforts, including roofing work completed in March 2026 and facade enhancements, the persistence of active violations and recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property had previously withdrawn a significant remodeling permit in 2021 that proposed substantial changes including a new basement level, third floor addition, and roof terrace, though this may have been reconsidered in light of existing issues.

Risk rating

How 2758 23Rd St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
